One case of avian flu confirmed in Indonesia

This report has just confirmed a positive human case for avian flu in Indonesia. Although only one out of 81 human blood samples was found positive back in May, the case has been confirmed just recently:

"The infected man is a farm labourer who was exposed to sick chickens when a wave of avian flu swept over the southern Sulawesi island earlier this year." 

The man is asymptomatic, but was believed to be in contact with domestic poultry.

The Man is dead.
He died because governments didn't do enough to stop the spread of H5N1.
